I really like reading about what makes us individuals. I love personality types; I have Myers-Briggs typed just about everyone I know. But there are differences between people that extend even beyond that. 

I read this article yesterday which reminded me what a different set of cards everyone is given to play.

It would be so difficult to be different from everyone else in this way, but the compassion he shows at the end of the article makes me happy. When people are truly forgiving and kind, it means they are comfortable enough in their own skin to let go of anger or grudges.  And he isn't given and easy path in life.  

Anyway, hope you enjoy.
